REFLECTOR: countersinking

[John Tvedte]

Grigore,
 
I've found that the full foot for me gets in the way more of the time than not.  I've gotten good use out of mine, but would look for one with a half foot such that it might get into tighter spots more easily.  There have been times that I would have liked to use the tool - but found that going slower and checking depth manually took less overall time and resulted in a countersink that was more square to the surface than what would result by using this tool - why?  well sometimes the foot is in the way, and to use it would require tilting the tool....YMMV.
 
John

	Hi,
	
	I'd like to get a countersink and just noticed the note in the
	Velocity manual that aviation countersinks must be 100 degrees, unlike
	non-aviation ones which can be anywhere between 60 and 120 degrees.
	
	Found one at aircraft spruce,
	http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/microstopcountersink.php,
	but it seems a bit expensive ($40).  Does anybody have any suggestion for
	beginners?  I don't mind buying the one from aircraft spruce if it is
	really good and indispensible.
	
	Thanks,
	Grigore
